Hi all,
What do you think of this build? This is in the Dallas, TX area.
Construction:
In-ground gunite pool and attached spa, 425 sq. ft with 90 ft. perimeter.
Depth of 3 ½’ to 6’
Estimated volume 12,500 gal.
Tie steel reinforcing on 8†centers all ½†4 bar beam with all alternates
5- Pool Returns
2- Skimmers
2- VGB Main Drains for Pool
2- VGB Main Drains for Spa
6- Spa Jets
3- LED lights, 2 in pool, 1 in spa
Equipment:
DE filter, 60 sq. ft. FNS Plus
Pentair IntelliFlo Pump
406,000 BTU Pentair Master Temp Heater
1hp Silencer Blower
Polaris 280 Black Max Cleaner
Pentair IC-40 Salt System
IntelliTouch Controller
Automatic chlorinator
The contractor initially wanted to use a Cartridge Filter and a Delzone Ozinator, but based on feedback here, I nixed those items.
One last thing, the contractor wants to put the pool LED light where it is facing the house. I've read it is unsafe to point the light at the house, but the contractor says that glare won't be a problem since it is an LED light; it will be diffused. Does this sound right?
Please feel free to make any suggestions. Thanks!
